Being a BA - Technical Excellence Webinar: From Use Cases to Requirements

Presented by Tom Karasmanis, IIBA

When eliciting and documenting requirements, should we capture them with use cases or with traditional functional requirements? Are these techniques mutually exclusive or do they complement each other? In this session we will learn about use cases and their limitations and how the various requirements types complement use cases to provide a complete picture of the target solution. We will also learn what makes good use cases and functional requirements. This is the first of three sessions on use cases and requirements.

Upon completion of this session you will

Understand the benefits and limitations of use cases

List the different types of requirements

Derive requirements from use cases

Write a testable functional requirement
